Nice ep.

You introduced me to the Di Majo Norante Contado Aglianico a couple of years ago, Gary… It absolutely blew me away, and found a special place in my heart (see http://forums.winelibrary.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3051)! And, it remains one of my all time favorite wines to this day! Thanks, man!

Great show! I like the panel tasting idea, but don’t spill the beans on aglianico or else the best bargain in wine will get pricy. De Maio Norante Contado is not only good now, you can leave it the cellar for another 5-10 years and it will be even better. The really great aglianico wines like Mastroberardino Radici will age 30 years. But even cheap ($8) IGT tenuta Ponte generic aglianico will not go downhill for 5 years. The pink bunny of red wine!

I don’t know Gianni Doglia moscato d’Asti, but if you were in a “sauna of a hot box” as guest Rich Ritter said, you were drinking it too warm. No need to chill M d’A down to Champagne temperature, but below 60 degrees F is best. And in response to another show guest’s question, “What would you eat with this?” M d’A is a great brunch wine and a fantastic dipper for those tooth-crunching biscotti!

QOTD: Maybe 20 before he goes out to injury. As another prize winning ex-USC NFL quarterback put it in a recent SI interview, college QBs don’t understand what it’s like to get hit by an NFL blitzer until it happens.

I need to try an Aglianico since I’ve never heard of it before watching this episode. I must expand my palate.

In my first week of fantasy football, my opponent has Mark Sanchez. After next weekend, I will cheer for Mark Sanchez to do well.

Interesting show – the Aglianico intrigued me. I’ve had a couple of Aglianicos and I really liked them. But they were a good bit more than 12 bones.

QOTD: 16 (and he’ll get injured – sorry)

Getting caught up. I am a little behind.
Is that a fauxhawk?
QOTD: Hoping for 7.

GV: It is pronounced Al – eee – on – a – ko. The “l” is silent in the Italian pronunciation.

Mott, the sound quality has definitely improved…way to bring it on despite the high echo room! More interactive guests, although I get a little scared that with the diversity, GV is going towards reality tv and they’ll be voting one another off the spittoon next episode.
Too bad about the Moscato, I really like them for their fresh and cleansing quality…sounds like that one needed to become a “champagne cocktail” of sorts mixed with lemon and orange juice to give it some acid.

QOTD: 3. THE “Dirty Sanchez” go’s down in week 5 when Joey Porter and Jason Taylor crush him between their thumb and forefingers.

71-point wine “tastes like cider….” You guys need to have better cider. Good guests. More active and higher fun factor. Nice show.

QOTD: 17. (I know nothing, but what the heck. I can put out a number.)

QOTD: Are we talking about regular season, or post-season and Superbowl (Hell yeah, they’re going this year!). I’ll say 30.

Little better mike today, although it’s a lot of work for Mott to man the mike and the camera at the same time. Maybe that’s why he was sweating so much.

Aglianico is a bargain mostly, with possibly Taurasi as the exception (but fantastic).

QOTD. I hope Sanchez this year’s Flacco, but given the Jet’s history of over-promising, under-delivering . . . . 14 TDs and a little pine-riding.

Going to guess 28 TD passes. Good show. Interesting to hear all the different tasting feedback during the NYC week. Will track down the Aglianico. Keep up the great work Gary.

qotd: Hope I’m wrong, but gotta feelin’ some Big 350 pound Defensive
Lineman gonna endup steppin’ on his Head & he’ll be out most of the
season due to injury…… So if Sanchez gets 15 TD passes, he’ll
be lucky !
